There might be a bug with upsampling. First of all, it seems to kick in even when the parent checkbox is unchecked. And then it shears the scene sideways. I've attached a video showing the issue.

Blender 3.6, Addon V28.5, Windows 10

It happened the first time I tried to use it. Then it was ok. Might be a Server initialization issue.

For me the "Upsampler" checkbox just has no effect at all. No matter if I check or uncheck it. The only thig that triggers the upsampling is changing the dropdown box.

The "Upsampler" checkbox should be renamed to "Enable AI Upsampling", for indicating whether to use AI to upsample the frame when this toggle is on. Otherwise the render engine just trivially scales up the frame.
Also, it should be not be put in the header. We will put it inside the panel, just as the Standalone does.
And then it shears the scene sideways
We didn't reproduce such cases here. Can you please share a sample scene if possible? Thanks!

So the Upsamler checkbox additionally enables AI and has nothing to do with enabling general upsampling. If so, than this should definitely be changed. Like now it's very misleading, especially with the "Denoiser" checkbox right above it working as suggested.

Maybe the checkbox could stay and generally enable/disable upsampling (like the Denoiser checkbox above). And then an additional checkbox could be added INSIDE the subsection labeled "Use AI upsampling" for the originally intended reason. Overall the Octane side panel needs some reworks. There have been several confusions/suggestions in the past. Time to address them.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the shear issue any more. If it should return, I will try to pinpoint it and report.
